The film opens with a disturbing car crash that provides some background for why “Michael” (Christopher Abbott), years later, resides with his disabled father (Colm Meaney) and seems generally dissatisfied. A neighbor informs him that two of his rams have died, prompting an investigation where he encounters “Caroline” (Nora-Jane Noone), a former girlfriend who left him for “Gary” (Paul Ready) and they share a son, “Jack” (Barry Keoghan). Finding no trace of the dead animals, Michael goes to purchase replacements at the market, only to discover his neighbors have been dishonest and that there’s enough history in this situation to warrant keeping quiet. Simultaneously, the neighboring couple is struggling financially with their farm, and when their young son develops a plan, alongside his aggressive cousin “Lee” (Aaron Heffernan), to earn money through harsh means, events escalate into violence and danger, eroding any sense of trust. This isn't a film for those easily disturbed, as it portrays the genuine hardships faced by farmers struggling to make a living from difficult land. The narrative feels somewhat disjointed, though it does begin to coalesce a bit toward the conclusion; overall, it seems overextended and depends too heavily on its non-linear timeline to convey a story of people who aren't fully developed, with plot elements that seem improbable as everything eventually connects. It’s visually appealing, offering an honest depiction of a marginal existence among people wary of outsiders and each other, but I felt the storytelling needed to be more focused, and Keoghan seems too old for his role. Abbott performs adequately, and it's still worth seeing—though it would likely work better as a television program.
